BREAKING: Georgia’s Chatham County stops counting votes, workers to return in morning
Georgia’s Chatham County announced that they are done counting votes for the night in the hotly contested Senate runoff races that will determine control of the Senate. At the time of print, it was too close to call either of the Georgia races.
Following earlier reports of technical problems, Georgia’s Chatham County announced that they are done counting votes for the night in the hotly contested Senate runoff races that will determine control of the Senate. At the time of print, it was too close to call either of the Georgia races.
According to local journalist Stephen Moody of ABC affiliate WJCL News, "The board of elections annex building is empty. Workers say they’ll be back at 8 a.m. Still thousands of votes to be counted here."
According to Gabriel Sterling, Voting System Implementation Manager for Georgia, "Chatham County didn’t just stop. They completed the counting of everything they have in. That includes Election Day, Advanced, & all of the absentees they had in. The last left will be the absentee by mail that came in today."
Earlier in the day, Georgia Superior Court Judge James Bass of Chatham County ordered the extension of voting hours at two Chatham County polling locations after the Chatham County Board of Elections and Democratic Party of Georgia made the request citing technical issues, the details of which are still not clear.
